The Forest Service is currently working on its' road closure plan for the Coronado Natl. forest. This has the closure of 150+ miles of roads from the Huachucas to the border in Unit 35A. The comment period goes into February and the closures are to be implemented in early 2013.
I would advise anyone interested in this issue to review the plan and comment on it at the FS site.
Having hunted, camped, hiked in these areas for 35+ years, I am opposed to these un-needed closures of roads that have been present for 30-40-50 years or more. Over the last 30 years we have lost much access in these areas due to Wilderness and Trail designation.
My guess is that they have already decided what they will do and will only be affected by overwhelming opposition to these closures.
These closures will adversly affect hunter access and Border Patrol enforcement abilities and will do nothing to "protect sensitive areas".
